European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 03, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 24 the stars and stripes wednesday May 3,1989 is this year 80 Jackson becomes Mantle Byton Kornheiser the Washington Post scanning the american league leaders the name you see most regularly is to Jackson s. To is first in Home runs second in both runs scored and runs batted in and fourth in stolen bases. However to invariably starts As fast As treated Char Coal. Two years ago he catapulted through april with is Bis and a .324 average. Last year to had a swell april four homers 11 rib then was a Cyclone in May .330. Five dingers 19 rib. This april his eight homers 20 rib and nine steals was More of the same. All of which leads to an annual rite of Spring won Dering if this is the year to Jackson becomes Mickey Mantle. In turn that wonder leads to the question so when is to going to forget about this cockamamie football baseball thing already the royals must be terribly frustrated. They re looking at a player who has holes in his swing who does t truly know How to run the bases who throws off the wrong foot. Yet he s a once in a lifetime athlete with bottomless natural ability that compensates for every mistake. Joking around at the batting Cage two seasons Back in royals stadium to took five five swings lefty and blasted two out. You want to know How Good he is a scout asked the Washington Post s Richard Justice then told this apocryphal anecdote i saw him hit a Ball to deep Center Field. He ran out and caught it then turned around and beat his own throw Back to the already a legendary Talent to never has hit above ,209 after the All Star break. Every scout says the same thing imagine what to could do if he actually knew How to play the game. That s All the royals Are asking enough time alone with to to teach him. But whenever the Opportunity presents itself he s off playing fool Ball. Commentary the raiders must be terribly frustrated too. Let the royals think they be got Mickey Mantle the raiders think they be got Jim Brown. They can t believe to s wasting time playing Pepper. It s possible there s never been a pro athlete As gifted As to Jackson one apparently touched by greatness in two major sports. Attention Couch potatoes he docs it without lifting weights. What a wonderful Way to spit in the Eye of the insufferable plague of electrochemical Jock technology in today s sport. Danny Ainge made the Aba All Star game but was just a passable infield or for Toronto. Dave Debusschere pitched briefly for the White sox but abandoned it for basketball. John Elway dabbled at baseball but concentrated on football. Dion Sand ers if he s prime time then to s All time says he May play football and baseball. Meanwhile to continues at both to the Chagrin of Public opinion which thinks he should pick up on one and let the other one ride. Speaking for the minority i Hope he continues the Romance. It should be Clear he loves playing both sports. Why make him choose to satisfy someone else s sense of neatness people ought to applaud his commitment to the Joy of sports shout Hurrah for the year round pleasure he Gies. What Ever happened to the Liberal artist or did everybody become a business major let the Guy have fun. It s his life in t it considering his athletic ability. To ought to play More sports. His sneaker commercials imply he s thinking of branching out. One has him running with the underline another Day another one has him dunking a basketball pondering the sound of air a third has him cycling asking when s thai tour de France thing to just do it. This week for example he could come to Hyattsville md., and win the ladies pro bowlers to rat fair lanes. From there he could Fly to Oakland and play Center for Golden state against Utah. The warriors Don t have a Center. Pardon me they have Man Etc Bol firing up 3s, and they have Ralph on his Kris tar. Can you believe that Ralph s 28, smack in the prime of what should be an unparalleled career and instead he s on the Wood. No time. Nada zip zilch Zero not one single minute so far in the playoffs. In credible. You could probably have him for a meat loaf Sandwich if i m the bullets i m toasting the bread right now. Ralph can t be this bad can he five years ago you d have been locked up for predicting that Ben Coleman and Mike Brown would be getting More Aba time than Ralph. Everybody s getting More time than Ralph. Jimmy Hoffa comes Back he s getting More time than Ralph. Not since the titanic has anyone sunk like this to could be saved Arena football. He goes into the National Lacrosse league As an Impact player. He May be thinking of doing that he s reportedly filmed a sneaker commercial playing Lacrosse Why not soccer with All the teams Gordon Bradley coaches there must be room. If to played for the . World cup team i guarantee you no Costa rican would be broken our goalkeeper s Good Luck Flag. Costa Rica is Lucky we re a Kinder and gentler nation under George Bush. Reagan would be invaded or to could play goalie on the Philadelphia flyers. Spare me this hot goalie excuse the capitals always proffer. The flyers replaced Ron Hextall with Ken arc Ggut who until last week May have been a Dairy Farmer for All anybody knew and Philly still beat the penguins. To s sensational in april for the royals and Hylla Cious in november for the raiders. Don t let him get stale. Spread him around. Start a to Jackson s sport of the month club. If this is May it must be horse racing.
